World Tours and Travels

NETHERLANDS

2013-04-14T11:42:00.003-07:00

The Netherlands offers a unique blend of rural, traditional
beauty and vibrant culture. Occupying a delta at the
confluence of three major rivers where they empty into
the North Sea, it is truly a water world: canals, coast and
lakes are never far from view.
Fit also makes an ideal destination for cycling, an integral
mode of transport among the Dutch themselves, and many
visitors plan their trips around the extensive infrastructure
for two-wheeled travel.
Holland (as the country is alternatively referred to) is also
a deeply cosmopolitan place where museums overflow
with paintings from its Golden Age and a cavalcade of
festivals showcase performing artists from within and beyond
its borders. Added to this is an eye-opening nightlife
scene in cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The object
of all their scrupulous planning, it seems, is to share their
enjoyment of life.

HUNGARY

2012-12-02T04:08:00.004-08:00

Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The
country is home to some outstanding historic towns and
cities, numerous elegant castles, palaces and churches, as
well as some attractive – albeit mostly flat – countryside.
The capital and largest city is Budapest. Thermal springs
are notable feature of the Hungarian landscape. As a
consequence, there are more than 150 thermal spas –
some of which date back to Roman times – and elegant
bathhouses in some urban areas, most notably in the
capital, Budapest.
Budapest is an elegant, stylish and lively city made up of
two separate settlements clustered on either side of the
Danube River. Buda, west of the river, is hillier and older,
with a wealth of graceful Habsburg and neoclassical
buildings, while Pest, the commercial centre on the opposite
bank, is flatter and more sprawling with antiquities
and art architecture.
The city has long been the focus of Hungary’s artistic,
musical and literary community.
